TWITTER COMPLAINERS

  • Vinnie receives a lot of tweets every day.
    • Most are positive.
  • Recently, however, he received a tweet saying Vinnie is “biased against bodybuilders… even natural ones.”
    • This is just so off-base.
  • Vinnie, however, doesn’t advocate for drug use or unhealthy eating to get a ‘bodybuilder bod.’
    • A lot of bodybuilders eat like complete crap until the week of their competition––any type of erratic eating like this isn’t good!
  • If you’re eating well and gaining lots of muscle, Vinnie is all for it!
  • Vinnie himself was built like a healthy bodybuilder when he played college ball.
    • He ate lots of eggs and steak and the like.

HIKING DURING THE PANDEMIC

  • For some people, hiking trails may be closed.
  • If they’re not, take advantage of them.
    • However, be safe.
  • KEEP YOUR DISTANCE from other people.
  • If you see others, give them a wide berth.
  • Make sure you aren’t touching anyone or anything.
  • Keep your dogs on leash to avoid human contact.

KETCON HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL 2021 AS A RESULT OF THE COVID PANDEMIC.

HOME WORKOUT EQUIPMENT

  • Vinnie is used to going to the gym.
  • He wanted to buy some high quality weights and workout equipment for home.
    • “Prison workout” style.
    • However, he realized it was all too expensive.
  • So, Vinnie checked out Facebook marketplace and found some great weights.
    • They were vintage weights, good quality.
      • They’re not the kind of thing you do crossfit with––just for normal lifting.
  • It’s actually gym equipment.

Getting Healthy after Diet Scams – Episode 1542

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1542 – Listener Bryant Manning joins Vinnie this Saturday to discuss his journey, multi-level diet scams, finding NSNG®, building muscle, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DIET SCAMS

  • Bryant is from PA.
  • In his 40s, he had sleep apnea and was pre-diabetic. Once he saw some friends have heart attacks, he realized something needed to change.
  • He started with the Beach Body DIet.
    • He had to buy all types of crap.
    • It’s a multilevel diet scam.
      • You can become a COACH and they make money off of you.
  • At the same time, he became raw vegan.
    • After 6 months, it started to feel bad.
      • He was ALWAYS hungry.
      • Bryant did lose some weight, though. He wanted muscle.
  • On this diet, after he lost some weight, he added grains back in and upped protein shakes to try and get muscle.
    • All his calories were synthetic – coming from junk.
  • Bryant had no energy doing this. He’d have to take pre-workout just to have any energy.

TRANSITIONING TO NSNG®

  • Eventually, he heard about the WILD Diet and Abel James.
    • He thought there was no way it could work, but saw it working for others.
    • Bryant starts it, eating more fat than he otherwise would, and he’s feeling better and losing weight.
      • Additionally, he could build muscle!
  • In 2013, he heard the Fat Burning Man, and found Vinnie that way!
  • At the time, he was just north of 200 lbs.
    • He still had some weight to lose.
      • He refined down to 185, and was muscular.
  • Bryant is in his 50s and looks AMAZING!

Finding the Right Doctor – Episode 1537

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1537 – Listener Tamara (Tammy) Treber joins Vinnie for this Saturday show, and the two talk growing up near Yosemite, hiking decades ago, finding the right doctor, Tammy’s NSNG® journey, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HIKING DECADES AGO

  • Tammy grew up near Yosemite.
    • You end up taking these things for granted!
  • It’s amazing to think of hikers hundreds of years ago, who didn’t have crazy equipment and who just lived for the adventure.

FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR

  • Tammy’s doctor wasn’t amenable to NSNG®.
    • She lost about 60 lbs, and is 5 feet tall.
  • The doctor didn’t seem to believe she could come off these meds and have such good bloodwork based off of her low carb diet alone.
  • Finding a doctor who supports and believes you can make all the difference!
  • Unlike lots of meds, surgeries, or diet plans, NSNG® isn’t expensive.
    • It’s the commercial garbage that costs money.
    • Even on a tight budget, you can make this lifestyle work well.
